A retired spy still wants to save the world. Her nerdy houseguest just wants to survive her vacation.
Former British Intelligence agent Irma Abercrombie wasn’t looking for drama when she invited Violet Blackheart—a brainy city slicker—for a visit at her island home on Canada's Lake Ontario. But after an armed robbery in town goes terribly wrong, she gets pulled into a small town intrigue: Was it a simple snatch and grab, or are there darker forces at work? And if Irma’s so retired, what's up with the dead guy in her driveway?
While Violet grapples with a technology puzzle devised by someone with a taste for murder, Irma sets out to track down a murderer, and confronts a bomb threat—along with her growing suspicion that Violet is hiding a few secrets of her own.
This unlikely duo is headed for a showdown at a luxurious local estate, but they can only flush out a killer if they work together.
Written from both Irma and Violet's points of view, this hilarious mystery is perfect for fans of Leslie Langtry, Jana DeLeon, and Jesse Q. Sutanto. If you like pint-sized heroines with nerdy sidekicks (and occasional pug sightings), this is the series for you!
